HAYTOP COUNTRY PARK LTD v AMBER VALLEY BC (2025) EWCA Civ 1442 is concerned with the overlap between the licensing of caravan sites, under the Caravan Sites and Control of Development Act 1960, and planning control, and the determination of an application for a caravan site licence, not in conflict with a planning permission, and disregarding “ purely planning considerations”. Holgate LJ states, at para 107, that the site licensing regime must be operated “ in harmony with “ the planning permission, which is the prerequisite for the grant of a site licence. The licensing regime cannot be used so as to extend the rights conferred by the planning permission or to relax the conditions to which it is subject. He says, at para 114, that if a licensee wishes to operate a caravan site outside the parameters of the planning permission on which the licence is based, he needs to make an application for a fresh grant of permission or a variation.
